Maria Molteni is a Nashville/Boston based multimedia & performing artist, educator & organizer. Her practice sprung from formalist roots in painting and printmaking and has grown to incorporate research, participation, and spiritual experimentation. From fiber to found-object sculpture, painting to movement, performance to publication, she employs tactile and tactical processes per their ability to manifest elaborate conceptual orchestration and intuitive synaesthetic provocation. Exploring iterations of sport, craft, feminism, animism, glossolalia, urban planning, and more she takes interest in standardized systems that influence ritual in everyday functionality. She playfully asks audiences to imagine her serving Black Mountain College as a PE coach : )

During her residency at Elsewhere, Molteni created Revolving Spectrum.

Jana Harper is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the themes and tensions between materiality and transcendence, chance encounters and human willfulness, relationships and connectivity, and the natural world and human acts of meaning making. Materially, her work takes many forms: drawing, printmaking, artist’s books, sculpture, photography, installation, social practice, and video. Originally trained as a printmaker, Jana has a broad definition of what constitutes her practice. She divides her time between teaching, research, and creative activity: working both individually and in collaborative settings.

Jana created New Walks in an Old Field during her time here.
